Limbaugh Responds to Clinton Saying He Has a Crush On Her
May 05, 2008 5:56 PM
When George Stephanopolous mention Rush Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos" on ABC' "This Week" Sunday -- the radio talk show host's plan to have Republicans vote for Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, to keep the Democratic Congress as protracted and divisive as possible -- Clinton quipped, "He's always had a crush on me."
Today Limbaugh responded on Fox News' The Live Desk with Martha MacCallum.
“Now I understand why Bill Clinton hit on my date about a year ago at the Kobe Club in New York," Limbaugh said. "I was minding my own business and Clinton came in and the short version is he used the mayor of Los Angeles to distract me while hitting on my date. So I figure he must think it’s true too."
After McCallum said she found the story hard to believe, Limbaugh said, "he came over three or four times. He had Ron Burkle with him and the mayor of Los Angeles who I thought was either the shoe-shine guy or a Secret Service Agent.
"And he was going on and on and on about how he loved me and had to talk to me. And after a minute talking to the mayor of L.A., I glanced to my left and Bill Clinton's face (was) three inches from my date. Now Hillary says I have a crush on her this is obviously something the Clintons have thought for a long time in their household.”

Don't you mean "mentioned" in that first sentence?

@tomdavie
That's hilarious! I have wondered what the heck Hillary did to deserve Morris' disdain.
I think you've got it!
Morris creeps me out too.

It is sick what our country has become!! All the politians should be ashamed of what they are teaching the children.

Wow! The race to the bottom is accelerating. Maybe the kaboom of the winners will be the last thing we hear from them.
It couldn't happen soon enough.

The unbelieveable part of this story is that Rush had a "date." I'm sure she was a friend who he brought along for appearances, since it is pretty well known Limbaugh comes from the Sen. Larry Craig and Mark Foley wing of the party.

Rush Limbaugh is the consummate Hilliary Clinton Supporter. Not por amore, but b/c McCain would beat her hands down come fall. To Limbaugh and the neo-cons, Hilliary is the "smell of victory," for the GOP, come fall.

This is what our politics has turned into. Absolute stupidity.

It is obvious that Rush Limbaugh is the consummate Hilliary Clinton supporter. And the reason for his support of her? Not por amore, but b/c McCain could beat her without a fight in the general election. You see, to Rush Limbaugh, and to millions of Repubs and neo-cons, Hilliary is the "smell of victory" for the GOP, come fall.

Beware of your former enemies (Limbaugh, O'Riley, Fox News, Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, etc.) coming to you now as friends with open arms. Do other Dems have a problem with these media hacks influencing the Dem primary with Hillary Clinton's full cooperation? Disturbing.

The interesting thing that came out of that conversation is that according to Limbaugh, Clinton's private polling are pointing towards a defeat in Indiana.
That is a very worrying sign indeed...

Limbaugh is such a fool. I heard him tell that story today and he REALLY expects people to believe it? If it was true, he would have complained about it on his show when it happened. It's not like Limbaugh to keep a story, harming Bill Clinton, to himself. This happened a year ago and we're just now hearing about it? PURELY BOGUS! I don't believe a word of it!

Wish those two weirdos would just run off into the sunset and go away.

Nobody cares about Limbaugh or the Clintons....out with the old, in with the new.
Obama '08!

I dont think Limbaugh has a crush on Hillary. I am CONVINCED that D@ck Morris had a crush on Hillary for years. This is why he is so bitter now.
